Predicted for 22. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
IBM guided Q2 2026 EPS of $2.93, below the Street consensus of $3.02, and revenue guidance of $17.2B vs the $17.86B analyst estimate. Despite these conservative signals, IBM follows an established pattern: in the last four quarters it consistently beat its own guidance. Goldman Sachs (per TipRanks) anticipates upside from hybrid cloud and US government consulting contracts tied to elevated defense spending (Hormuz crisis, Ukraine). Downside risk: if IBM precisely hits its own guidance ($2.93), that misses the Street consensus ($3.02). Slight majority favors a beat.

Microsoft reports Q4-FY2026 results on July 29, 2026 (tickeron.com earnings preview). Azure has consistently grown 33–35% YoY, driven by AI Copilot integration, Azure OpenAI Service, and enterprise cloud migration. In Q3-FY2026 (April 2026), Microsoft reported ~33% Azure growth. Analyst consensus for Q4 sits near 34–35%. Missing the 34% threshold would imply significant deceleration, inconsistent with heavy AI infrastructure investment across the market. The open prediction 'Microsoft EPS beat Q4-FY2026' covers top-line momentum but not the specific Azure growth metric.
